BEST INSPIRATIONAL FILM 2023: OUTRAGE: The Life and Times of Al Katz
OUTRAGE: The Life and Times of Al Katz, winner of the World Cinema Awards for BEST INSPIRATIONAL FILM, is the powerful story of the life of the real hero who survived seven years as a Jewish slave in Nazi Europe at the beginning of his life and 70 years later survived human bondage as an elder Ward in Florida’s vast abusive professional guardianship industry along with tens of thousands kept in isolation until their miserable deaths ensue.
As a Jewish slave in his youth, Al Katz was forced into many concentration camps across Europe, starving and working outdoors in frigid conditions of 52 degrees below zero with little clothing; yet, he always kept his faith and knew that he had to survive to warn the world of the depravity of antisemitism. As a Jewish Ward of the State of Florida, Al Katz once again lost everything – his belongings, house of worship, and all civil rights, trapped in isolation for months, while being forbidden from visits, calls, cards, letters, and all contacts with his family.
Al Katz’s life is an exclusive look into a unique life lived in two worlds of human depravity, unseen and unknown by the masses, and the extraordinary courage to survive with faith in the face of fear and unimaginable terror. OUTRAGE, winner of the BEST INSPIRATIONAL FILM, will inspire audiences around the world as a once-in-a-lifetime movie of miracles and monsters, hero and unbearable sorrow.
OUTRAGE, by award-winning filmmaker, Stan Moore, has also been nominated for numerous other awards across the globe, including BEST JUSTICE FILM. Al Katz’s story is featured in the book, Florida Guardianships: Who Shall Live and Who Shall Die? by Dr. Beverly Newman and in the Holocaust education book series, Holocaust Babies, sold in bookstores around the world.

Even in the extreme winters of 1940, 1941, and 1942, temperatures in Poland, where Germans interred practically all Jewish inmates, never got as cold as -52 (neither on the Celsius scale, nor Farentheit). That you would devour and repost such obviously fake propaganda reveals much about your biases.
This is a true story. Prove it wrong. We dare you.
1941-42 was one coldest winters ever on the Baltic Coast, with records as low as -30° and -32° in Latvia and Estonia in January 1942. NOT as cold as Katz’s rather obvious embellishment, i.e., “52 below.”
“Poland, where Germans interred practically all Jewish inmates” First of all, your basic presumption that Al Katz was enslaved only in Poland is FALSE. Among other slave camps, he was in was Riga, Latvia, which is over 400 miles NORTH of Poland. and temperatures were a frigid -52 degrees Celsius with arctic winds and weather from Russia.
Records still exist for three extreme winters, 1940-1941, 1941-42, and 1942-43. If you like, you can look up the record lows. I already know what you will find. In Latvia, the lowest record lows during the war are -30° C and -32° C, then lower temps in the vicinity of Pskov, St. Petersburg, Karelian, etc.
I have debated holocaust deniers. The demographics of Hungary and Poland during the period are critical weak points of their arguments. I do cite anecdotal claims of survivors as evidence of expulsions, however, with caution, inasmuch those on the denial side love to make hay by exaggerating any embellishments by such sources. In my experience, such accounts are not the ideal “hills” to argue over.
Since you obviously have a malicious agenda against the truth of Holocaust Survivor suffering and have no personal knowledge of being a Jewish slave for 7 years in brutal weather conditions, save your purported “facts” for other people as uninformed as you.
